The Boca West Children's Foundation will host its Community Cook-Off Competition Luncheon on April 17, bringing together local leaders, chefs, and supporters for an afternoon of food, friendly competition, and philanthropy. The event will feature local figures stepping into the role of celebrity chefs, competing to prepare signature dishes for a panel of judges.

Why it matters

The Boca West Children's Foundation supports programs that benefit at-risk children and families throughout Palm Beach County, and this event aims to raise funds and awareness for their important work in the community.

The details

The cook-off luncheon will be led by Hunter Fieri, who will guide the participating community and business leaders as they prepare their dishes. Judging the competition will be Melissa Butterworth, a bestselling author and business leader, and Yaniv Cohen, known as 'The Spice Detective.' The first donor to contribute $5,000 will receive a seat as a Guest Judge. Doors open at 10 a.m. for boutique shopping and a silent auction, and the cook-off luncheon will follow from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
